KVR Forum Upgrade - Xmas 2013

[Prevalence]

Topics will fall off the bottom now even quicker...

Normally I am into bright colors, but I don't know if I can warm to this baby blue... 
Also it's not matching to the dark list at the side, dark menus at the top etc.

the baby blue is awful! but it is temporary...

also... what dark list on the side?

[folderol]

Is there an option I can invoke to revert back to the old display/colours? I need to give it a while until the new forum smell fades...

There is... but you need to put on some ruby red slippers and invoke a chant...

OR

You could just read what Ben [KVR] has written about making sure the forum is running smoothly and bugs are ironed out, before he changes the skin.

The current theme is a tweaked version of the standard phpbb theme, which should do the job for a while. It'll be refined and tweaked no doubt (with the whole of KVR being massaged together a bit more of course), but a dark theme will follow (and be user selectable).

For now, I'm more concerned with the timeouts and server load issues we are currently experiencing since the upgrade.

You serious? You trying to bring the entire Internet screeching to a shuddering halt?
Since when did anyone read information/update posts?

What happened?
Some threads dissapeared and everything looks strange now.

also... what dark list on the side?

The "what's new" that is now UNDER the thread (but should be at the side)....

The "what's new" that is now UNDER the thread (but should be at the side)....

My "What's new" is still on the right side. Maybe it's different on laptops?

Not much point in complaining now - there's obviously more work to do, and Ben said that explicitly. Give it time - there's a good iRing thread started now that's in need of some double-entendres...

Installed!

thanks george

[Arglebargle]

Glad we're back.
Now you can make other users Friends or Foes .

Don't get too excited. Apparently you see when Friends are online and Foes posts are hidden.

Sweet, everyone make me a foe so I can feel like I have the site to myself.

[Melodyshine]

Installed!

Installed the Chrome extension.
Edited it and pasted the code provided by George.
And activated it only for URL's starting with "http://www.kvraudio.com/forum/viewtopic"

For topics list or sub-forums list it doesen't look so good.

Not interested unless it becomes like a Star Wars game... There should be light side and dark side points.

I have updated the CSS for topic list and sub-forums now. It should look better.
